Sorry you have to deal with them on a daily basis!<br /><br />As for Mr. Pony, I LOVE the way his adorable, fuzzy leetle pony ears just disappear when he's mad.

Selling it sounds a lot easier (and more profitable!).<br />I have argued with various weights of tarps to close off the east end of my barn--I can't use anything permanent as we need to bring the harrowbeds in that end to stack may hay. The infamous Ellensburg wind quickly does them all in! This year I tried shade cloth instead of solid tarps, so the wind can actually go through the closure to some extent, and it looks like I may have finally found a solution (post coming soon). Of course, that would work for keeping a pile dry...EvenSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032555334605790413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-39672547349770987362011-11-18T04:01:35.107-06:002011-11-18T04:01:35.107-06:00And I complain about a mere 20x 20 tarp!!

The tarps could not be stored in the field with the horses, so it was usually slogging around in the mud, in the cold, in the dark, dragging tarps that kept getting airborne out to the round bales. It was dreadful. We finally decided that the horses were probably eating the hay fast enough that it could stand getting wet overnight. That was a glorious day and we've never looked back. People are now forbidden to say the "T" word.amy324https://www.blogger.com/profile/13269984546811241769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-68215761222693941532011-11-17T21:07:19.881-06:002011-11-17T21:07:19.881-06:00I have enough trouble tying a 12x25 tarp over a 5&...I have enough trouble tying a 12x25 tarp over a 5' high stack of wood - I cannot imagine how horrible full size hay tarps are.
